Before we know it. In the old days it was frustrating that the fast films were not made in 120/220 Brownie. Neopan 1600 was not. Nor Delta 3200. The color neg films only went to 800. Tmax 1600 was 800 and not worth it to me. Not only is larger film because of depth of field needs more needful of higher iso's if your shooting hand held..... Its more tolerant of them... As in your not going to get too much grain... And its not going to seem all that much less sharp. On 1/1/13 1:41 AM, "Bob Adler" <rgacpa at gmail.com> wrote: > Wonder why.
